[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1000. It’s a myth that most of the families who leave BASIS do it because the kids can’t handle the academics. Many leave for better schools overall, particularly Walls. We burned out on surprisingly uneven teaching and rowdy classrooms. [/quote] Basis has rowdy classrooms?[/quote] In the middle school, absolutely. BASIS hires too many teachers right out of grad school with little in the way of classroom management skills. These teachers often use BASIS as training to well-paid suburban jobs. Too many of the kids aren't right for the curriculum and the cramped building--there's no outdoor space or gym--makes some of the younger kids stir crazy, particularly boys. [/quote] This sounds bad... I knew there was extremely high turnover, but didn't realize there was a lot of behavior issues. [/quote] My 5th grader has never mentioned any behavior problems.[/quote]
